Introduction
Water is needed wherever people or animals live. We drink water and
use it for cooking and washing. Plants need water too. Without water
no plant can grow or reproduce.

The problem is that water is often
underground and we need to dig a well to extract water. When a well
hits underground water, the other challenge is how to bring up the
water. Devices used to extract water are called pumps.

Material and instructionsLearn about pumps as
one of the most important industrial equipments for water distribution, petroleum, chemical
and food industries. Research and learn about the fundamentals
of each model pump and make a working model of a string pump as your experiment.
